Isn't it odd that this article from the Washington Post is the only thing the major newspapers have to say about today being the Anniversary of Kennedy's Assassinatio? Nothing in the Post Gazette, Tribune Review, NYTimes, or the Chicago Sun-Times even. Props to the Washington Post, if only for it's link to a blog ...

Andrew Bird I had never heard before this morning
It sounds absurd but in a word he's warming
Some place in my play list
Oh yes I can say this
With some confidence
Without diffidence
With an audience
"He sounds different."
So give the man a listen...

Do check him out Becky ... you'll dig his violin stuff. Which is prolific.

Andrew Bird has an album out on Righteous Babe Records called The Mysterious Production of Eggs. He does some cool songs, multi-layered, plays the violin perhaps like Tracy Bonham, but not. Her new album is definitely cool, too. You can stream the whole album on the website. For those of you who like Sondre Lerche and his ilk, he's a must listen... Enjoy!
